Subject: Re: tcl and editor
Status: OR
the two versions of SWAT you see on the SDK are the debugger and the target
stub. Since SWAT is a remote debugger it requires the target machine to have
a stub running that the debugger can talk to. Basically the debugger sends
"commands" to the stub to do something on its behalf (like look a memory
location, etc).
SWAT runs under a Phar-Lap DOS Extender (386 I believe?). It does not run
under GEOS.
About running TCL on the Zoomer....Have you thought about the resource
requirements of you project? The space requirements of an editor, a tcl
interpreter, a fourth interpreter, and the ascii scripts people write, will
most likely not fit on a standard Zoomer (i.e. you'll need a mem-card). Also,
I'd hate to imagine the performance of a tcl interpreter! And then I ask is
there really a need for one?
I'm not saying don't do it. I'm just raising some points for consideration.
